TikTokers are loving the viral “shut up, it is not” sound on the app, which has sparked a whole new viral trend — here’s everything to know about the trend and where it came from.
A huge portion of the many videos on TikTok feature ‘sounds’ in the background, and these audios often form the basis for trends that end up completely taking over the app.
While many audios are songs, some can also be snippets from movies or TV shows, which go on to inspire thousands to make their own videos using the sound.
The latest sound to take over TikTok features a woman saying “shut up, it is not,” with another replying, “yes it is,” and the original speaker insisting in return “no, it’s not.”
The sound is actually from one of actress Jennifer Tilly’s scenes in season 2 of ‘Chucky,’ and the short clip has inspired a whole new viral trend, with users going on to get millions of likes and views for their videos.
